General Q & A / Re: security bit fasteners
May 12, 2018, 04:18:47 PM
I'll have to recheck, think the size in question is t-25.  And I have to have a hole in the middle of the bit because the screws are security screws.  Kind of annoys me livinlite did this.   All the rest of the screws in my camper are torx and none of the bit's in the set I bought work.

Only way I have been able to get the non-security screws loose is with a tapered square bit.  It won't work with the security bit though because it doesn't have a hole in the center to accommodate the bump in the middle of the security screw. 

Thanks for the link to the torx plus.  Not anxious to spend 7 bucks on a bit but if it works...

Sorry it took me so long to reply I was hoping I had my profile set to email me when I got a response.   

I'll have to fix that.

General Q & A / security bit fasteners
May 08, 2018, 02:39:53 PM
Can't unbolt my fresh water pump from floor cause of security type fasteners.  Appear to be the 8 sided type but with a dimple in the middle so I can't use a  tapered 4 sided bit on them.   Best I can tell t-25 is the size I need so I went to amazon and bought a whole range of them including this size in 4 and 8 sided with the hole in the middle to accommodate the dimple on the fastener.

None of them fit.  Any suggestions how I can get these fasteners out?  Can't reach them with a pair of pliers.  Considering drilling out the center of them and using an easy out.
